NEW Moon in Virgo

28 August

Feeling Purity

This New Moon in Virgo brings forth a peaceful energy to unfold as Venus is close by to make sure our initiations run smoothly. However the Virgin’s purity affects you, find out how this Lunar trigger can benefit you to take charge of what is meant to move forward within this next Waxing Phase.

Moon enters Virgo 28 August 2:13pm EDT to 30 August 2:25pm EDT

Lunar energy in Virgo calls for us to look to matters concerning health, order, routine, service, and efficiency in our habits. Our life force and values already have been playing together in a harmonious channel for us to tune into. Now as the Moon aligns, it’s time for new feelings to be explored here- removing any sense of doubt. Whilst it is not wise to get hung up in The Virgin’s tendency to fuss over everything, Mutable Earth is this sign’s elemental influence, so something grounding is definitely meant to logically unfold.

New Moon, 28 August, 11:04pm EDT, 05 degrees Virgo

No matter where you live in the world, you won’t be seeing our Lunar Lady over the next few days as she perfectly aligns with our current Sun transiting at 05 degrees Virgo. This is our auspicious time of the month to embrace as our emotions welcome all anew. As our New Moon embarks in the detailed-oriented energies of Virgo -the sign that consciously aims for perfection- the collective is ready to get it all in fine working order within the Virgo piece of the Zodiac Pie.

For the Collective

While Mercury will be officially going forward, he isn’t moving too quickly quite yet. Coming off the Retrograde at 18 degrees Leo upon 26 August, he will have only just reached 19 degrees Leo by 28 August. By 01 September, he is back to his average degree per day pace. As a new Waxing phase initiates, there is gathering energy to reap from once more. Upon the next Full Moon 12 September, The Messenger reaches 5 degrees Virgo to allow a communicative energy to further stimulate what will have begun anew here.

Venus’s blessings are close by as we celebrate new beginnings with The Virgin for 2011, as she transits at 08 degrees Virgo. Plenty of harmony and peace surround what is cropping up fresh within this area of our lives. While you still may feel those communication and movement issues from the station of Mercury, Venus is eager to make sure we take in a most pleasurable experience coupled with moral beauty and purity.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE New Moon in Virgo, 2011

For the collective horoscope, again we offer advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. If you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice. Remember it is the awareness and mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that will point to the accuracy of how the current planetary landscape affects you.

Aries: That hasn’t been your imagination running wild hinting at you to improve your routine, personal habits, and health Dear Rams. Don’t be headstrong and not focus on this important task at hand, for it’s time to take charge! There is a new way to be of service to others, so take this time to strike up a match here, and get ready to keep the flame going with some new routines.

You are prone to worry, but now you totally know there are far better ways you can spending your time thinking. Harmonious thoughts are nearby for you to soak up.

Your purpose, mission, and reputation have all processed through significant changes, which you, above all signs, have been eager for. Remember if it doesn’t make logical sense anymore, it’s not meant to be a part of your new routine in the workplace. Harmony is now here to serve you.

Capricorn: There is activity stirring within your philosophical outlooks, some of which even the long-term thinker like you couldn’t foresee coming. The time is now to embrace welcomed new beliefs. There’s an important a trip that’s either finishing now, or you are making plans for a future one! Don’t deny this urge to travel, nor forget that it is more than ok to take the time away from your work so you can embark on a new pursuit that furthers your higher education.

Aquarius: If you have some lingering financial revisions, it’s a perfect time to bring some new life to them.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, FULL MOON in AQUARIUS, 2011

LUNAR-O-SCOPE



FULL Moon in Aquarius

13 August

2:58pm EDT

Emotional Progress

Whilst our Sun desires to take center stage in Leo alongside Venus and Mercury, our Lunar Lady prefers the opposite, focusing upon the larger humanitarian picture. This month’s peak of her luminous light celebrates in the sign that loves to bring new life to all it sees, while Mercury Retrograde continues to request review where the Lion roars as well. Reflection comes full circle as we now engage upon the inventive and innovative energies within our Aquarius piece of the Zodiac Pie for the next two weeks.

Moon enters Aquarius

11:47pm EDT 11 August to 8:54am EDT 14 August

Detached feelings may swirl around in the air, but don’t take too much offense. When progressive forces are around, there logically needs to be some time off from intimacy. The capacity to engage in those ingenious thoughts is high. Instincts are typically quite well-developed under an Aquarian Moon. So if some unconventional and independent personalities display themselves to you over these next couple of days, now you know why. They should, however, be friendly to you!

Full Moon, 13 August 2:58pmEDT, 20 degrees Aquarius

As our Lunar Lady peaks within The Water Bearer, it is the perfect time within our summer’s sizzle to truly take further pause within our vacation modes and think about what is worn out within the ways we bring our originality to the world. When our Full Moon shows itself in the inventive energies of Aquarius -the sign that brings new life to everything- it is a great time to bask in our prophecies. As we revisit ideas we have recently been implementing, we are wise to find the time to sit in stillness so we can then ideally listen to our inner voice, rather than get caught up in the “lunacy” that stereotypes a typical Full Moon.

For the Collective

We have an interesting dynamic of planetary pull as we see our Full Moon in Aquarius 2011. Not only is the norm of the Sun in opposition to our Lunar Light show, we find Venus reflects back the compliment of harmony at 19 degrees Leo. Mercury will by 26 August, journey back to 18 degrees Leo, so this lunation has intensities surrounding it that ultimately wish for us all to align how Leo and Aquarius can truly work together within our lives. While Mercury is currently requesting those RE’s and changes, Venus is doing her very best to ensure that these see their end result within the creation of balance and rediscovered values. As the Moon naturally releases in the opposite area of our life, completion is the sincere goal of these reflective offerings.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE FULL Moon in AQUARIUS, 2011

For the collective horoscope, again we offer some simple advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember, if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice.

Be sure to check the Aquarian House, in particular where the 20-degree Aquarius spot in your natal birth chart lives. (A natal birth chart is determined from the time of birth, which allows a more in-depth look to equally see where some pondering is ideally meant to unfold in how the planets uniquely affect you.) Whether the collective or individual vantage point, these are the areas of life that call for you to bring forth improvement within the next two weeks to follow. Properly cleansing in these areas until the next New Moon upon 28 August will make the necessary space for future new beginnings to brilliantly initiate later on.

Aries: Friendships take your attention- who is staying and who should go! If there is a group or cause you’ve been pondering, changes do wish to occur within your organizations. You’ll find you are willing to talk to just about anyone right now, more so than normal. Keep up all that great creative work you are revisiting, these pay-offs are wonderful in September. Accept that social invitation show up that you weren’t expecting, it is sure to show a reconnection you’ll enjoy.

Taurus: Re-workings are bound to emerge in the career, so if you’ve been patiently waiting for a change, you’ll be sending your branches higher and your roots deeper in your public life. There is a conclusion that deals with a current project, or, expect to make a turn onto a different route of responsibility. Your take on authority also wants to say hello. Remember, all of those changes going on in the home are happening for a real reason. You’ll find the renewed security later.

Gemini: Not that your mind doesn’t have enough to think about, a reflective state surrounds your philosophies and beliefs. You have been enjoying your mental refresh and reassessments. Something now is stirring within to embark on a spiritual journey within your idealisms, higher education and how you choose to travel, be that physically or in your mind’s eye. If you aren’t already on a long journey, you find yourself planning one that will take you away from it all.

Cancer: If you’ve been worried about your securities, finances, and investments, now is an ideal time to take stock of what may need to move around a bit- just make the real moves after Mercury is done reflecting please! (by the way, let that worry go too about the earning power, it’s all going to balance out later.) Also, Dear Crab, a transformation fully illuminates you at present, so know, in the letting go, the rebirth will regenerate you like never before.

Leo: Mercury’s got you in his redoing spotlight Lion, and now, you’re equally receiving a pleasant gift from the Moon. You’re really been thinking about those intimate partnerships -equally from the romantic ties to business contacts- and what purpose do they all hold in your life. Your heart may be heavy if you choose to make ultimatums, so it is best to remain quite upon your stage and realize who can stay to rule the forest with you and who is meant to leave your royal court.

Virgo: You are more than thrilled with this opportunity to bring improvement to your health and all the ways you love to be of service in life Dear Virgins, which is the perfect compliment to what’s reworking within your inner world. If you’ve been looking to let go of a bad habit, you’ll have no fuss in releasing it now. Thinking about a pet? Now is the perfect time to rescue someone, or there may be a hard choice that you need to make about one you already have.

Libra: All the world’s a stage Libra, and it’s you who shines upon it now! Whatever you’ve been personally creating lately, greet the excitement and confidence behind it, as its’ time has come to fruition. You’ll find yourself extra playful, especially loving any contacts with children. Watch emotional intensities with your own if you have them. Friends acting strange? It’s Mercury’s time to bring you reflection here, and don’t forget to remember and refresh your hopes and wishes.

Scorpio: Feeling that it’s time to clean the house Scorpio? You totally put forth some rearrangements within your home environment. Rejuvenation is equally stirring your family ties. Be on the look out for those déjà vu and psychic experiences, which have a very open channel for you to receive their important messages presently. Work is definitely a little zany, so just let Mercury do his thing to revise what is necessary here, and you’ll be all reorganized for the fall.

Sagittarius: If you’ve been aiming those thoughts to send off your arrow to improve your course of study Archer, you’ve got the right target if higher education and idealism revisions are happening to you! Try on a long lost communication for a friendly reconnect- it is the perfect time to get back in touch- and invite over your neighbors please! You’re also thinking about travel as usual, and if you’re not already on a short trip, you’ll find yourself planning one soon.

Capricorn: You are the one who innately knows about value old Goat, and you are in the mood now to take stock of your own personal possessions and what is truly of value to you. Take this time to reflect upon your sense of security, and try something original to improve upon it. There’s also a possession you may be parting with. Don’t forget to make those moves involving the wealth after Mercury is direct, and keep on enjoying the regeneration your core is experiencing.

Aquarius: Cast off an old approach Water Bearer, as that old mask you’ve been wearing is no longer needed. Your original and innovative energies anxiously await to reinvent a few things involving how the world sees you. Engage in self-focus and attention to your image, even if you feel you don’t want to get too intimate with it. Mercury takes your reflection further as you re-evaluate your partnerships, but let Venus show you the harmony that is meant to be found here.

Pisces: As Rumi once said, “You are in deep waters now.” Dear Fishes, it’s time to explore those inner places in your life. There is a break-through awaiting you at the bottom of your ocean. The spiritual and subconscious realms call you to swim in the light of cleansing your psychic soul. It’s doubtful you’ll want any company, so be prepared to take a solitary trip. Meanwhile, all that happens here compliments the renewed habits and routines you are swimming towards as well.

MERCURY RETROGRADE, 02 to 26 August, 2011

Being Mindful Under Mercury Retrograde

Mercury REtrograde, 02 to 26 August, 2011

Retrograde: Any planet’s reverse movement which results in an opposite direction to that of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, or of the Moon around the Earth.


Known as the Trickster, Mercury lives up to his nickname especially when he cruises in reverse for a mere three weeks approximately three times per year. The collective undeniably senses the fluxes within our communications, movements, mechanisms, and mentalities. When in retrograde, one all too often wonders within all the zany craziness: What in the world IS going on lately?

Yet, as we also know, Mercury Retrograde periods are never to fear. Surely though you will see those unawares typically getting aggravated and frustrated by Mercury’s typical bag of tricks he draws from over this period. Human error is the highest under these passages than during any other time of the year.

Ultimately, these 3 weeks are best spent adhering to any word with that begins with RE: such as: redo, reassess, read, revisit, rejoice, realign, rest, review, and by all means RElax! Yes, your eyes do not deceive you in how you can truly REceive REward within Mercury’s “tricks.” Being the norm that “no one pays attention in August,” it couldn’t be a better time for REflection!

Mercury Retrogrades in Virgo back to Leo
11:50m EDT 02 August to 6:03pm EDT 26 August

As our Messenger Mercury touches upon Virgo, the collective is granted valid, diligent, practical, and discriminating energies within communications and mental capacities. While efficient, well-structured, articulate, and detailed-oriented methods of expressions are the natural course of energy that can emerge, these ideals now become challenging to meet. While revisiting in Leo after 08 August, it is wise to examine how authority, creativity, dignity, and humility live where the heart of the Lion rests for the remainder of the passage.

For the Collective Horoscope
We have a quick and easy guide that pinpoints where Mercury’s energy’s will outwardly affect you, and where you are best to put your reflective and responsive cap on within.

Remember, your natal chart is the other vantage point you will wish to consider as well, where 01 deg Virgo to 18 deg Leo precisely sits. This is the area of life where personally you’ll also see those communication, mechanism, and movement related mishaps, changes, and delays the most; as well as seeing a restructure of some sort unfolding within the next 3 weeks. Take special note of any natal planets you may have placed within these degrees, as these will also be energized by this transit.

TO DO or NOT TO DO under Mercury REtrograde…
REmain in the eye of any possible storm around you…
These handy tips can help bring ease over this upcoming period to allow personal success to be reaped!

DO:
*Expect CHANGE: in travel, routines, communications & schedules to occur suddenly

*Give yourself extra time to get where you’re going

*Spend time in the RE’s: Relax, Revisit, Reflect, Redo, REcharge!

*Have Plan B (and Plan C if necessary) ready to go

*Gravitate to REsponding vs. REacting!

DON’T:
*“Freak out” when changes come up

*Rush: speaking, driving, doing anything!

*Sign important documents

*Initiate or buy anything new that you wish to have long-term success with.

Keep in Mind…

Try not to question everything at this time. And if you do, REflect in the actions and thoughts leading up to your doubt. Remember the Sun will also be shining in Leos’ and then the Virgin’s light, so there is a positive energy to gravitate and choose from at any time. The more we can be flexible, the better results we see. Sometimes, it is taking that pause for a SILENT LISTEN that saves us.

Approach: Began 14 July

The last day Mercury was at 18 deg Leo. You may have already started to see the things emerge that will be under Mercury’s review during this time.


Shadow: Ends 09 Sept

The next time Mercury reaches 01 deg Virgo going Direct. Should any important decisions have to have gone forward under the Retrograde, this is the perfect time to rework them and make sure any errors are then corrected and cleared up.


Lexigrams and Mercury Retrograde

One last piece of star secret advice comes from the wisdom of Lexigrams, the art of phrasing the anagrams we can derive from any word, name, or in this case, title. What we are best to do under this passage can readily be seen as the letters within Mercury Retrograde equally wish to tell us the real tale of the Trickster’s request.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE

NEW Moon in Leo


30 July

REviewing Benevolence

TIME to bring all anew to the area of life where The Lion reigns in your Zodiac Pie! A fresh start in Leo promises generous and confident energies you definitely don’t want to miss-out on. Yet, it is wise to be in the know with this particular lunation, the communications that Mercury has recently brought here, now will wish to be ideally reflected upon before moving forward. Where are you best to focus upon the typical Mercury Retrograde redo and review from the Universe?

Moon enters Leo 30 July 2:16am EDT to 01 Aug 4:41am EDT

Leo Lunar energy must beware of conceited, self-indulgent, and opinionated energies that may arise. When there is plenty of magnanimous leadership around, it is easy to gravitate to not being able to recognize limitations. While a strong sense of pleasure-loving and dramatization mark any planetary passage through The Lion, the cultivation of humility, altruism, thrift, and attention to detail will allow this transit to reap its’ greatest rewards.


New Moon, 30 July, 2:40pm EDT 7 degrees Leo

As our Moon and Sun align once more, a NEW Moon in Leo brings forth passionate and heartfelt feelings as our Lunar Light joins hands with The Lion. As another waxing phase begins, it’s time to get those new ideas and initiations out there to gather in the light. When our New Moon embarks in the dignified energies of Leo -the sign that consciously aims for creative self-expression- the collective is primed to tap into some inspiration and faith. Fire is Leo’s elemental influence, so be alert to the radiating gifts that are meant to unfold- as this New Moon kicks off an loyal and vital force that The Lion wishes to share with the world.

For the Collective

No sooner do we celebrate our yearly offering for bringing on the new in Leo, than will Mercury begin his 2nd Retrograde Period of 2011. As we embark upon the New Moon 30 July, our Messenger of movement will be starting his station as he slows down to 0 degrees Virgo, only reaching the 12th minute of 01 degrees Virgo by 02 August. Once Retrograde, Mercury takes until 08 August to re-enter Leo, where he will remain until 09 September.

While this Mercury Retrograde will not quite touch back to the 7 degree point of our New Moon in Leo, you can be sure that there is revising that will wish to occur from this area of your Zodiac Pie. It will be wise to take the New Moon’s offering of fresh starts to emerge here and slowly but surely tend to them over the Mercury Retrograde transit. Remember, when The Messenger isn’t looking where he is going, human error is the highest. Therefore, it is best to hold off on true legal signings and any initiations for the future when Mercury is instead asking you to reflect and reassess within this area of the life, 02 to 26 August.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, New Moon in Leo, 2011

For the collective horoscope, again we offer advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. If you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice. Remember it is the awareness and mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that will point to the accuracy of how the current planetary landscape affects you.

Aries: Rams, it is really time for you to socialize! Focus upon a new creative adventure to work on, or should you have children, they may require your attention now. If there is a love affair flirting with you, this can easily move on to a higher level. However, all wish to be re-examined as August evolves. As you revisit the familiar energies in this area of the life, see what you may no longer need to continue to bring forth the innovative approaches coming to you.

Taurus: There are a many new things being planted that pertain to your home and family life. This passage marks a time to bring heartfelt feelings to where you feel most secure and loved. That sense of déjà vu has a high potential to occur, so listen to that instinct you hear from within, as its’ message is of karmic importance. As Mercury dips back into where the Lion reigns in your life, expect a bit of re-arranging here- so yes there are weeds too to take out by the root.

Gemini: You’re always thinking and catching thoughts from any direction, yet be ready for some truly inspiring ones to find you now. The mental state will be feeling entirely refreshed as your genius inventions should be strong at this time. The ability to organize your mind is high, urging you to embark upon a needed education pursuit to enliven that need to know intellect of yours. After all that is said and done, unite it with the other side and sit down for that necessary review.

Cancer: Financially, you should be feeling better about opportunities that have been recently coming your way. Your value system and security are ready for the boost, and take focus. Give a hearty look at your possessions, and see what really means the most to you, as there may be some necessary new purchases you are about to make. You may find, if you buy them under Mercury’s Retrograde you’ll be apt to return them, so make a list and seek-out the bargain later.

Leo: The Lion just loves to be on the stage as the newest light of the year is upon you now. As you put on a new mask for the world to see, and also take on a fresh approaches to life- these then will wish all the same to be re-evaluated. Humility allows you to gain the real insight you seek, as it lets you see through the entire forest you have reign over. Reassessing those heartfelt first impressions- and seeing how you can shine brighter is where your loyalty shines in August.

Virgo: Nothing is feels logical right now does it? There is a fresh energy emerging with the inner layers of your psyche, the unknown. Your subconscious is requesting for you to pay attention to the most hidden parts of yourself, and don’t be afraid to be of service to what you see, for a new healing wants to happen. Dreams are a remarkable tool under this Mercury Retrograde, study and review them well. Should reoccurring ones talk to you, take extra special note of them.

Libra: There is a buzz of energy in your friendships and organizations. While you have definitely been feeling your personal re-balancing acts going on lately, now is the time to go for that social invitation -especially if it is unexpected- to get out there and relate to it all. Reassessing within your groups right equally allows all of your dreams and wishes to come true later on. Remember, should friends seem like they can’t quite communicate well, just give them a little understanding.

Scorpio: Career matters and the public life are on the surface right now, and decisions need to be made on where it is all going. Your purpose, mission, and reputation all are awaiting significant changes, so if something different shows up, take it on for review- but move forward after Mercury is through not looking where he is going! While power is always around you, your take on authority may surface for some reflection, so scope out the re-organizing to do here.

Sagittarius: You’ll find fortunate aims your arrows can take towards gaining more of that philosophy you love so much Archer. Embarking on or making plans for a new adventure? You always find ways to travel, but make sure the next one places you in pursuit of something that takes your spirit to the realms of higher education. Being you love change, the alterations in plans Mercury will bring, just allow you to adapt to a new belief you didn’t consider up til now.

Capricorn: Need some financial revisions old Goat? It’s a prominent time to take a look at investments, or take a look at your shared/joint resources. Looking for more intimacy in a personal relationship? It’s a fantastic time to focus upon things on a physical level, as you may be finding yourself, not thinking about all that work to be done. Remember, under Mercury’s reflection, revise those opportunities for wealth and transformation, and act upon them later.

Aquarius: Now is not the time to be detached, but to look to yourself to see how to bring new life to all of your partnerships in life. There should be plenty of light in this area for you at present, and be on the look out for warmth to be felt here. There is plenty of friendly energy that urges your one-on-one bonds to solidify to new levels. As Mercury may resurface past relationships you haven’t though of in awhile, see what these wish to remind you of.

Pisces: Is there something that’s been intuitively telling you to start to bring improvements your routine, personal habits, or health? Of course your psychic powers are working wonderfully dear Fishes! Definite changes that deal with your ability to be of service to the world are in the works- the fresh waters you are meant to be swimming in are cleaner ones. You may start and stop over Mercury’s backwards passage, but keep with discovering the wonders of a contented new you.

FULL Moon
in Capricorn

15 July

2:40am EDT

Grounding Emotions

We’re now in reversal mode from the depths of Winter, as we are about to take on a Full Moon in Capricorn, ideally bringing to fruition what beginnings emerged from the Solar Eclipse here upon 04 January. As we now go into reflection mode until the next New Moon in Leo, there’s plenty to gain from seeing how the years’ initiations from the Capricorn area of life have seen their slow and patient process of growth.

Moon enters Capricorn 10:14am EDT 13 July to 4:30pm EDT 15 July

The virtues of reliability, ambition and prudence are natural gifts of a Moon in Capricorn. While instincts may be sluggish, the capacity to apply diligence is more favored to shape our feelings during this passage. The collective gravitates to a practical quality -urged to focus on serious matters and be oriented towards the self- as time in the workplace can bring comfort now. Steadfast, austere and fatherly energies tend to demand more from our Lunar Lady, who ideally is fed what she naturally lacks when journeying with The Goat.

FULL Moon, 15 July, 2:40am EDT, 22 degrees Capricorn

As souls we can take this opportunity to bring forth what needs to now complete and reflect within our lives- with wisdom and responsibility marking our moves. Take the next 2 weeks to see what ultimately has occurred in this area of the life since 2011 began. Visualize a releasing force as the Moon will travel from 22 degrees Capricorn to where 07 degrees Leo energy reigns within the birth chart. This half of your Zodiac Pie is now ready for a look-see and review through 30 July.

For the Collective

While we can now celebrate and see the completion of energy arrive to the Capricorn area of our lives, we are also seeing an interesting pull from Venus and Pluto who, are currently coming off an opposition from 5 degrees Cancer/Capricorn. While Pluto’s changes are ever-intense and gradual, the dynamic of the Venus-Pluto opposition that precisely occurred one week prior upon 08 July, still has a dynamic affect with Venus moving forward at 13 degrees Cancer. As our Moon and Sun wish to offer their monthly yin and yang light show, we also have a request to tie in our sense of values and harmony verses letting go and rebirthing within our lives. Rather than be the magnetic force of resistance, recognizing how Cancer and Capricorn energy can bring achievement through the experience of grounding our emotions, grants amazing security one can ultimately rely on.


LUNAR-O-SCOPE, FULL Moon in Capricorn, 2011

For the collective horoscope, again we offer advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. If you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice. Remember it is the awareness and mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that will point to the accuracy of how the current planetary landscape affects you. Happy, Happy Reflecting…

ARIES: You’ve already got more energy than most in the Zodiac Dear Ram, but now your fire fuels-up the career, which certainly already has been giving you a taste of the transformations that are on your horizon here. You know what must come to an end- so don’t be impatient in letting it go. The public life is meant to get the review session after all the recent hard work here. Remember equally what is important to focus upon at home, as it brings harmony to all else.

TAURUS: It’s time for the Bull to unlock it’s stance and get onto traveling matters. Think of a place you’ve never been: now is the time to go there! Equally, you have been drawn to higher education and a renewed philosophy on some level, but you may find what you’ve been doing to achieve this will now alter along it’s path. It’s time for a worn-out belief to say bye-bye. There is such pleasantry surrounding your thoughts right now, so keep up that imagination soaring.

GEMINI: This is an intense time that encourages your innate adaptability to be utilized as now they’ll be no stopping the transformations that are unfolding. If there is a personal relationship that needs a physical spark, you’ll not resist the temptation now- unite and conquer! Not happy with your financial investments? Now is a perfect time to investigate how to best revise them. The earning power should be feeling happy, so choose wisely how to make it worth more.

CANCER: Time for some decisions to arrive to the partnerships within your life Dear Crab. There are some people you may want to get your claws out of, and some you’d like to sink them deeper into. This will be no time to hide in your shell, as the reflection you bask in now, is backed up by truly romantic feelings all around. As you sensitivity imagine how you are taking on new and balanced approaches to life, these give back all the more from those you relate to.

LEO: You thought about the whole health kick back in January didn’t you? It may have taken this long to manifest within you to finally let go of worn out habits and routines that no longer serve the King of the Forest. Cast off any laziness and dismiss what must release, as a rebirth is unfolding in this area of the life. Been enjoying those more than telling dreams as of late? Keep writing them down, as they wish to truly relate inner harmony to match that renewed outer glow.

VIRGO: Dear Virgin: Stop fussing over those details with your current creative adventure, and please don’t worry, because you are completing the project at hand! Lingering issues or matters with children come to a resolution. A love affair moves to a deeper level, or out of the picture. Don’t be shy to entertain and be bold in taking the center stage with friends and groups. There are tremendous new forces coming from your hopes dreams and wishes: embrace them.

LIBRA: The home is where you may indeed be finding your heart feeling complete, as you seek to bring your Scales into further balance by finishing a long-term task here. What has been transforming in your family life? Release is ready, and this may come through in a déjà vu experience. However these manifest themselves, a true completion is unraveling on the home front, while all that harmony over in the career and public life is the perfect match to even it out.

SCORPIO: What mental pursuit have you been awaiting to end the investigation of? Now is the time where you will see a course of study, travel plans, or communication related ventures come full circle. You are drawn to the educational realms, and wherever your mind wants to probe, you’ll find conclusions there. Be cautious of anything dealing with transportation, for there may be delays or total re-workings of your plans. Peace comes from believing in honest outcomes.

SAGITTARIUS: Right now you are wise to keep those arrows of yours on the target of how you are managing your money and all those possessions you have. It’s time to part with something, as you have reaped such reward here all year. Ambition finds you becoming more aware of living in your means, and if you are anxious to release any debt, you’ll learn there is a way to complete the mission. Core transformations you experience only make you feel more secure and at home.

CAPRICORN: The Lunar Light show is upon you Old Goat! Get ready for some of your approaches to be released, even if, you may not think they are broken and need fixing. You’re in the realms of realizing what needs to come to a completion within your first impressions about life. There is an old mask to the world you are wearing that needs to be pulled off. This gets you ultimately in alignment with how to feel ever better about those new partnerships in your life.

AQUARIUS: You may feel like detaching yourself from everything, but it will be best for you to bring some new life to your deepest inner world, as the subconscious realms will speak loud and clear to you now. Your dreams are an intense guide to help you release any fears you may have, for what you may be hiding, is not meant to be your enemy any longer. Finding innovative ways to sharpen your own inner saw, allows your physical health to reflect happily in harmony.

PISCES: Take a swim in the sea of friendships and organizations Dear Fishes, as these waters now arrive in a place for you to tread in awhile. Let go of a worn-out hope or wish. Is there more responsibility from a group you belong to that some one wants to give you? Take it on, or leave it if the water is too stagnate. Let that beauty coming from your creative nature keep on flowing strongly. Oh and definitely don’t swim away from that unexpected invitation to socialize.

QUESTIONS? Sharita loves to answer them:! E: sharita@sharitastar.com

Word Ponder: Solitude

Taking time alone is a genuine gift to embrace within any life, in essence it is our souls’ true lifelong homework. When we choose to engage in our own personal sharpening of the inner saw, some amazing things can happen for us. Yet, why are so many people seemingly afraid of being alone in this day and age?

By definition, Solitude can mean:
1. the state of being alone, separated from other people, whether considered as a welcome freedom from disturbance or as an unhappy loneliness

2. a quality of remote quietness or seclusion in places from which human activity is generally absent

3. a remote or uninhabited place

What some people -based on a programmed belief that allows them to fear being alone- completely miss when they deny themselves this healthy time to clear out within their lives, is actually the perfect chance to create some real enchantment for themselves. The Name Expression (the numerological calculation of the value of the letters composing it) that guides the very word of Solitude is the Chaldean’s brilliant understanding of the 33, that of Love and Magic. Said the Chaldeans of the 33:“This carries the same vibration as the 24 – except that the magic of love, the extent of originality and creativity, and the promise of eventual financial success are deepened and increased. Due to the double 3, these entities are more fortunate in every way when involved in a harmonious partnership of some kind with the opposite sex, which applies to the career as well as romantic and marital relationships. This a number of well-deserved karmic reward. The 33 vibration is advised not to abuse the astounding luck which will descend on them at sometime during the life by allowing it to tempt them into laziness, overconfidence, and a feeling of superiority. When a sense of humor and genuine humility accompany the 33 vibration, it’s a wonderfully fortunate number.” ~Linda Goodman’s Star Signs

The 24 represents Love – Money – Creativity, which is a rich source of understanding than if one does what they truly love in life, focus upon their creativity, it’s practically a fool-proof formula that brings forth the likes of one of Venus’s favorites: money. Looking to both of these 6 vibrations, it is Venus who is in charge of anyone’s solitary moments.

Knowing the presence of Neptune over the 7 vibrations, (who seemingly can’t get enough of their alone time), one might think Solitude should tick to something like a 34 Name Expression instead. Why give the credit to Venus?

Venus is the planet that governs over harmony, peace, balance, and negotiations. No fan of lies or arguments, she’ll run for the hills to stay away from them. Also noting Venus’s appreciation of beauty and nature, one cannot deny the relationship that can be gained within the self if we choose to spend our solitary moments with Dear Old Momma Nature herself.

Time alone can bring forth such unity within our life, especially in our present day. The world we all co-exist within is filled with multitudes of choices that allow us all to attach and attract so much to us that we don’t even necessarily need. When we all keep going in the hustle and bustle pace of modern day society, it is without question a disconnection is happening for human beings everywhere.

Solitude is here to save the day and rescue our souls when we decide to step away from the intense buzz of life. Vibrating as a Master Number 33, aside from the Love and Magic, it is here to equally teach us from the two 3’s that compose it. Personal growth, learning, and honing in on what we wish to believe as our individual wisdom are all qualities guiding the 3. Unite these two 3’s together, and Venus’s harmony and peace can be a most pleasant outcome.

What else does Solitude have to say to us? Lexigrams, the poetic tale the anagrams tell from any word or title, provide further insight that is uncannily on target with what can happen to anyone when their free will decides to take that time to be in those silent listens.

SOLITUDE

I LET IT SIT, I IDLE SO I SITE SOUL TOIL
I LOSE, I OUST TIES TO OUTSIDE LIES
I SIT SO I LET OLD LIES DIE
IT IS TEDIOUS TO SIT, TO LET IT LOSE
LET a SOUL TIE IT TO SOLID TOIL DUTIES
DUEL LIES USE US, SOIL US DUE TO STOLID TIES
OLD LIES TOLD TO US LET US DIE
DILUTE LIES TO LET a LOST SOUL OUT
I EDIT: I LET LIES DUEL TO DIE TO DUST
I SLIDE TO SOLID SOUL TIES
I DO, I DO LET SOLID SOUL TIES OUT TO IDOL
LET’S USE a LOUD LOTUS TO LITE US TO LOTS O’ SOLID TIES

WORD PONDER: CHALLENGES

WORD PONDER

CHALLENGES

We all face them. Life is not complete without this word that seemingly in the end, truly does make us stronger. So exactly what is behind the energy that our world consistently faces and more often than not, overcomes?

As a name expression, CHALLENGES carries the Chaldeans’ understanding of the 36- that of The Sceptre. The karmic mystery of this number claims: “This is an excellent, harmonious and fortunate number of courage and power, with a touch of enchantment. It blesses the person or entity it represents with a promise of authority and command. It guarantees that great rewards will come from the productive labors, the intellect, and the imagination. All of these creative faculties have sown good seeds, which are to reap a rich harvest.”

We know when we see the 36, we also see the underlying guidance of the 9, as 3 + 6 logically reduces to. Here you have Mars, who is but of course the perfect planet to aide us in helping us through those challenges we may have to face. More often than not, to properly handle challenges, the very courage of the Warrior planet is required.

Mars, however -in the opposite potential of courage- can bring forth conflict, penetration, and aggressive action. Surely you are already well-aware when we feed into or allow these choices to become our beliefs when those challenges surface, we truly tend to suffer more than we have to.

The Chaldeans noted as well of the 36: “People or entities represented by the 36 should always carry out their own original plans and ideas, and not be intimidated or influenced by the diverse opinions or opposition of others. 36 is a number of karmic reward, earned in more than one previous incarnation.”

Amazing isn’t it? The choice of courage or conflict makes all the difference in the outcomes of the challenges that face us.

As always, the wisdom of Lexigrams provide the final layer of insight into what the hidden power within the word CHALLENGES is here to teach to us all. Next time you are faced with them, remember, Mars strength and courage is only a personal choice away from carrying your torch high above them in victory.

CHALLENGES

ALL CHANGES HEAL AS A SAGE
ALL CHANGES CAN CLEAN AS A CLEANSE
ANGELS SHALL HEAL AS CHANGES ANGLE ALL
AS CHANGES LASH AS HELL, HENCE SEE A SAGE HEAL CLEAN
AS CHANGES CAN CLASH, AN ANGEL CAN HEAL ALL CHANGES
AN EASE CAN ANGLE AS AN ANGEL CAN SEE ALL
CEASE A CHALLENGE, SEE A HEAL CLEANSE
CALL ALL ANGELS AS A CHALLENGE CALL

We didn’t tell all… WHAT does your ability to spiral within CHALLENGES see?

LUNAR-O-SCOPE

FULL Moon
in Scorpio

17 May, 7:09amEDT

Regenerating Our Core…

Moon enters Scorpio
Sunday 15 May, 12:31pm EDT til Tuesday, 17 May at 1:09pm EDT

Anytime our Moon is transiting in a water sign, our emotions have all the more tendency to become a powerful force over us. This month, as the Taurus Sun urges our ultimate patience and responsibility, the Moon reflects and asks that we examine our core and filter our emotions in regards to transformation and self-control while it journeys through complimentary Scorpio.

Full Moon, 17 May, 7:09am EDT, 26 degrees Scorpio
This is the second full illumination within our Spring. Your Scorpio piece of your personal Zodiac Pie will point to where you will most certainly feel a magnetic force that leads up to Tuesday morning, as energy completes itself here. Look to this area of life to properly focus on release and reflection within the waning period over the next two weeks until our next New Moon 01 June.

For the Collective
Be open to the request of our Full Moon in Scorpio, bringing forth an acute instinct and imagination for us all to embrace. We are called to look to matters concerning our determination, sensitivities, and power to investigate. Intense feelings and the capacity for reliving past experiences are strong, as well as psychic energies being especially prominent under this sign.

Be aware of stinging, self-tormenting, and defiant reactions. The urge to manipulate should be avoided. Desires will be powerful and channeling them with proper intention is essential for this regenerative force to optimally heal.

Lunar-O-Scope, Full Moon in Scorpio, 17 May 2011
For the collective horoscope, again we offer advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember, if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice. Keep in mind, the exact casting of the natal birth chart determines a closer perspective to how the current transits of the planets personally and specifically affect you.

Aries: It’s the perfect time to focus your attention and review your investments, taxes, shared/joint resources. Remember just to look, and then take forward motion here after 01 June. Other people’s sources of money may no longer be serving you. Some intense transformation can also take you in directions you’ve never known before. Intimacy wishes to be explored, as these deep changes regenerate you to let go of worn out habits that make room for excitement later.

Taurus: You are determined to share your feelings about those closest to you, personal or business related. A person from the past may surface, or one equally may be let go of as conclusions form here. You are reflective upon how you ultimately carry out your personal relations. Whatever doors have recently closed in your life, recognizing how they have transformed you will allow some new ones to show themselves all the easier.

Gemini: Your routine, personal habits, and health seek both sides of you to unite to bring on some regeneration. This requires you to stop moving, at least for a little while! The power you find in stillness brings forth all the answers that wish to come. Take a look at the way you are being of service to others, for there are equal improvements to be made. Time spent with pets is a source of healing and brings unity from the depths of your soul.

Cancer: That artistic or creative adventure you’ve been putting all your imagination into looks for a completion. Children may be on your mind, or require your focus now. Love affairs may also be contemplated, and you are anxious to figure out whether they are meant to become something you bring the curtain up or down upon. Take some time to be social and get out there in the spotlight, for there is applause you are also about to receive.

Leo: Home and family matters become quite heartfelt, and there are issues concerning them that will find a release now. Time spend cleaning in the home rejuvenates and makes room for new energies to emerge here later. Remember there is still balance you need to achieve where you recharge in the Lions’ lair. Play close attention to any déjà vu – under this especially psychic full moon you’ll be sure to receive an extra intense and powerful message.

Virgo: Time to re-organize your thinking Dear Virgin. This is truly no time to hone in on any tendency to doubt, and it is best you remain in positive thoughts. When you sense something deep, keep going there. Taking time in reflection to write, educate, or learn should delight your need to intellectualize, but be sure you don’t get stuck in logic. Something has been holding your thought process back for a long time that urges that regenerative energy to shine upon you now.

Libra: Your earning power and value system urge your investigation, as now is the time to re-evaluate your securities. A channel of earning power may see a conclusion. There is a possession you have you should consider parting with, as you no longer have to be dependant upon what you no longer need. Steer clear of impulsive purchases. Remember all of the current feelings surrounding a slow patient process in your life teaches you lessons you must learn to evolve.

Scorpio: The most reflective time of the year is upon you now, and it’s your spotlight Eagle! New approaches and letting go of what doesn’t fit into your passionate and magnetic world is the mystery that awaits your detective solution. There is a different way the world is about to see you- but these last moments of release desire your attention before that new mask can be put on. It is time to let go of a worn out impression you needlessly carry about the world.

Sagittarius: There are plenty of arrows shooting off in your subconscious realms that this Moons’ energy will take you Archer. You are sensing the workings of that inner world as it is time to go further within hidden matters that wish to be resolved now. There is a re-educational process involving spirituality you’ll unravel that surely will have you aiming higher than ever. Take special note of your dreams, as these equally share innate wisdom about your waking world.

Capricorn: Time to hold up on the work old Goat and labor with your friendships and organizations. You may find yourself reliving a many experiences within the roles you’ve played in your groups right now. There is an ultimate responsibility here that brings new life to you, so don’t miss the task at hand which requires a rebirth, as maybe some traditions in this area need revitalizing. When you receive that unexpected invitation, don’t use work as an excuse not to go.

Aquarius: Matters of work and toil are on the surface right now, and reflection asks you take a vacation from all of your inventions. Your purpose, mission, and reputation all await significant changes. A long term project here sees it’s fruition. There is an intense and passionate new life you are meant to bring to the career, so detach yourself from the stagnation that’s been holding you back from your own truth. Pondering your view on authority is also felt strongly.

Pisces: What belief no longer is powerful enough Dear Fishes? The waters are safe now to swim in that can bring on necessary changes here. Even if you only take a trip in the mind- you are urged to find some real higher education that releases a worn-out philosophy. Gravitation to your deepest psychic realms is especially rewarding. Now is not the time to let logic bring you to fear of the unknown, as it only makes perfect sense to allow the past to stay where it belongs.

REmembering BUDDHA

Happy New Year Buddha!

Since 1873, all East Asian countries celebrate Buddha’s birthday upon the 8th day within the 4th month of the current Chinese lunar based calendar -unless you live in Japan. This date, of course will vary from year to year, but more often than not, Buddha’s birth right is honored under the sun sign of Taurus. 10 May 2011 marks the 8th day of the 4th month since we began the New Year of the Metal Rabbit, 3 February 2011.

While the actual year he was born in some 2500 years ago remains uncertain, he was in fact born to the name Siddhartha Gautama, as a Prince. It is interesting to note Siddhartha carries the meaning “he who achieves his aim.”

With a pure 5 Name Expression from Siddhartha Gautama, it is no wonder this Prince has had the historical affect upon the masses that continues on through this very day. Name Expressions denote our career and public life energy, and when the planet Mercury watches over this, it is granted that the natives’ communication and movement will occur amongst the masses because of it.

Before he became the Master Number 22 Buddha Name Expression, and was recognized as “the enlightened one,” it is surely seen from his birth name Lexigrams (the poetic phrasing of anagrams from a name that tell the natives tale), the life he was destined to lead. Perhaps it is just another one of those “coincidences,” but how uncanny that we can clearly see -amongst other apparent truths within his birth name- the sun sign that seems to best describe the innate virtue of patience Buddha’s nature-loving soul so kindly left for us all to embrace.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, NEW Moon in TAURUS, 2011

LUNAR-O-SCOPE


NEW Moon in Taurus

3 May 2:51am EDT


Continuing to ground our core…



Moon transits Taurus

2 May, 1:58am EDT til 4 May at 1:09pm EDT

Once again, our Moon is in sync with the initiations of our Sun! A NEW Moon in Taurus brings forth deep, intuitive, and sensuous feelings as our Lunar Light takes a stance with The Bull.


Opportunity is knocking at the collective’s door at this time of the month when our emotions become anew. When our New Moon embarks in the practical and patient energies of Taurus -the sign that consciously aims for security- we are now ready to really take on an enduring and resourceful spirit. Earth is Taurus’s elemental influence, so look to this passage to allow feelings to take root, and “fix” into a grounding force.


Taurus energy must beware of dogged, materialistic, lethargic, and obstinate behaviors that may arise. When any possessive energies are around, it is easy to gravitate to unimaginative and reactionary tendencies. While a strong sense of values and patience marks any Taurus passage, the cultivation of enterprise, adaptability, and vision are equally wise to adhere to.


New Moon, 3 May, 2:51am EDT, 12 degrees Taurus

Be sure to check your Taurus House in your personal birth chart to see where a new energy is ideally meant to unfold. This is the area of life that requests an initiation in the next two weeks to follow. Seeds that you plant in this section of your Zodiac pie until the next Full Moon on 17 May are bound to reap a rich harvest further down the road.


Jupiter enters Taurus 4 June

What is even more Zodiac “good news” is right after our next New Moon in June within Gemini, jovial Jupiter enters Taurus for the next year. Certainly the new beginnings you see from 3 May’s initiations will be furthered by The Optimist as he journeys with The Bull.


Mercury’s Shadow remains through 8 May

Our recent Mercury Retrograde passage in Aries is still seeing plenty of re-workings unfold in this area of the life that may have seen their upsets over 30 March – 23 April. As the Moon will gather once again in the light, the Universe is granted the optimal energy to continue to smooth out any wrinkles Mercury may have caused under the Shadow Period. 30 March, our Messenger Mercury began his “backwards” phase at 24 degrees Aries. On 8 May, he crosses back over this very same degree moving forward once more, as the Shadow concludes.


LUNAR-O-SCOPE, NEW Moon in Taurus 2011

For the collective horoscope, again we offer some simple advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember, if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice. Keep in mind, it is the full mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that truly indicates how the current planetary energies are uniquely affecting you.


Aries: There is a direction you’ll be in the mood to lead yourself to that brings on a renewed sense of values while taking stock of your personal possessions. How you earn your dollars may find a new channel to flow from, which will be backed up by Jupiter’s good fortune for the next year once June rolls along. Be cautious about making those impulsive purchases- you are best choosing ones that serve a practical purpose to ground your fire a bit. Save for rainy days.


Taurus: It’s a solid month Dear Bull to try on some new approaches. Be ready for exciting and stirring feelings that will uproot those first impressions. We know you like slower changes, yet, you are likely not to resist this new energy, as Jupiter is soon to bless you with optimism that will further what begins now. Take time to focus upon you, as this is the perfect time to re-activate the self. The world is anxious to see the completion of new mask that is ready to be unveiled.


Gemini: Time to logically access those inner places and spend some time in solitude. The spiritual, subconscious realms, and the psychological make-ups of life call to you to really get away from your chatty self, so don’t be in a disconnect. There is such value in the inner security you’ll discover, and with that cleverness you innately have, it’ll be something you’ll carry in your communications for a long time to come. Dreams especially are able to cast light into the future.


Cancer: There are new friendships you are meant to move forward with Dear Crab, and these contacts become more blessed when Jupiter joins up here in June. If there is a group or cause you’ve been thinking about joining, don’t remain in your shell, the time is now to allow an original energy to flow here. Accept that possible unexpected invitation to socialize, for you’ll gain a renewed sense of patience, contentment, and familiarity from attending.


Leo: There is a definite harvest, stability, and reward ready to bestow itself upon your career and public life. Once Jupiter begins toiling here in June: are you ultimately ready to take on another piece of the forest oh kingly Lion? Equally, this is a fantastic time to promote or start a new business, or, expect a nice recognition if you’ve done your homework already to receive it. Consider a new view on authority that you haven’t been responsible to up till now.


Virgo: Inspiration is fueling where you’ve been reflecting upon your philosophies since Taurus began. Thinking about a trip Virgin? This is a prime time to plan one, take one, or find ways to broaden your view of the world at large. There is wonderful opportunity to keep igniting your urges to expand, along with educational pursuits that are meant to serve you for the long-term. Don’t doubt these new beliefs, for you’ll take them further when Jupiter shows up here in June.


Libra: Now is not the time to be wishy-washy concerning your securities and investments, but take the lead and come to decisions about any changes in these areas. Other people’s money can be of assistance to you now. The doors to ultimate transformations will unravel further with Jupiter’s aide after June, allowing you to feel a rebirth like never before. Be even friendlier to those sexy feelings that will be stirring in the air- just be patient when taking action!


Scorpio: Your partnerships: romantic, business, or otherwise are where you feel passionate right now. You’ll find the people you continue to connect with over this waxing period are of special importance to your future endeavors, and even more so once Jupiter arrives in June. You’ll find wisdom and diplomacy to engage in forward motion, making practical plans within your one on one relationships. Any legalities that may undergo here, should be peaceful and prosperous ones.


Sagittarius: Aim your arrows towards your health Dear Archer, for this Lunar light will have you feeling the time is now to bring on the improvement! How you serve others also sees its’ process of reworking itself, and a forward flow will unleash. Try on some new routine and habits. If you are thinking about a new pet, there’s someone out there just waiting for your kindness and generosity to find them. Your ruling planet Jupiter takes it all to the next level once June arrives.


Capricorn: While you always enjoy the ambitious pursuit, it is your creative nature that now desires your full attention Old Goat, and will even more so in June with Jupiter’s help. There is enthusiasm watching over your current project. Playful feelings surround you, especially loving any contacts with children. “Brain children” or your offspring equally captivate your attention now. A new love affair may perfectly align if you stop working to discover it upon your stage.


Aquarius: Re-inventions wish to find you in the home Water Bearer. There will be plenty more to think about that brings further improvement to this area of the life once June comes along, as Jupiter expands and blesses you with a little ease and fortune. Family relations run smooth and welcome your innovative ideas for change. While you already possess a prophetic nature, be on the look-out for those déjà vu experiences, as their messages hold importance to you now.

Pisces: There are fresh waters your mentality and thinking are ready to swim in Dear Fishes. Your mental capacity is ready to absorb like a sponge, and will need to be wrung out often to soak up more after Jupiter graces this area of the life in June. Plan that short trip you’ve wanted to go on. Enjoy this new direction your intuitive mind takes, as it’s meant to show a revelation that strongly roots in your life now. One word of advice: it takes patience to watch things grow.
